Interesting story behind a great Aussie athlete.

Edwards played competitive hockey growing up. Then started out in Olympic-distance triathlons & half-Ironmans. Consistent age-group winner in early 20s.

Starts competing half-marathons in 2014. Runs a 1:05.

Runs first marathon at Chicago last fall. Finishes in 2:16, behind just 5 American-born runners.

Some commenter made some noise about the competitiveness of a NZ race (and of course, ultrarunning).

5th place was Ryan Sandes, who won 2017 Western States, also Leadville, and all of the 4 Deserts races.

Canberra is the biggest hole on earth, best thing to happen to the fella is escaping that bureaucratic pile of steaming dog poo.

re: Magic carpet

This is the beauty of Strava. Here is what elite level 100km trail running is like-

They basically hammer out a 35-40km and then get into survival mode. If you watch video of Cody Reed, he's not even in his running stride the last 60km of the race.

This is what makes guys like Jornet and Walmsley special. Those dudes don't just survive, they continue to keep strength throughout almost 80% of the race and keep their form with minimal crashing.

Assume you are a pitiful fool who followed the cult leader Gooseman to Crapberra, then he dropped you all like a hot SPUD. Now you're all injured, slow and stuck in a hell hole - poor fellas
